    E and Bt—140 to 200 centimeters (55.1 to 78.7 inches); 70 percent brownish yellow (10YR 6/6) and 20 percent light gray (10YR 7/1) and 10 percent yellowish brown (10YR 5/6) sand; structureless single grain; loose, nonsticky, nonplastic; 1.0 coarse roots throughout; fragments; slightly acid, pH 6.5. Lab sample # 12N00109; observed in pit, small. Previously there were 2 horizons one for the E from 140 to 200 and one for the Bt from 140 to 200. I deleted the horizon least populated and changed the remaining horizon to an E and Bt from 140 to 200 cm.
